Preparation : Deep Strategic Role Discovery Guide
The most important part of any search is a thorough strategic role discovery session. Our complimentary guide with any purchase helps you transform your role initiation into a strategic conversation.
It ensures you capture the robust notes needed to create a clear, shared vision and the most targeted, effective playbooks. This is meant for a discussion and not something to hand hiring teams. We provide tips to recruiters on how to probe deeper in certain categories. The more robust the notes from the session are, the more on-target your playbooks will be.
